The Explorer panel opens to Program Files>TextPad5. In my case all work is with deeply nested files elsewhere (the 8th circle of WordPress) requiring a lot of repetitive clicking to get at a file of interest.

Any way to reset the default for Explorer?

I think the Explorer pane defaults to TextPad's startup folder, which you can change as follows:

1. Click Configure > Preferences.
2. Click Folders.
3. Click Startup.
4. Select a new startup folder.
5. Click OK or Apply.

Thanks for helping. I reset the Startup path, Applied and closed. Oddly, when I open Textpad again, it still goes to Program Files > Textpad5 despite the fact that Configure > Folders > Startup now shows the different path I had set. Maybe it only takes effect after a reboot. We'll see.

Anyway, it's not exactly an intolerable hardship, so ... moving on.

TextPad v. 5.4.2 Startup Path does not take for me either, on a Windows 2008 Server development platform with settings applied as an administrator, for what it's worth.
